Ok I'll give that a try in the morning. We have some beer glasses we don't wash in the dishwasher but mainly because they have custom logos on them vs the pint glasses you just get randomly like in running race swag bags. Interesting trick with the salt, just like how we cleaned coffee pots when...

Ah sorry, that's 1/4 of a keg and 1/6 of a keg. 1/4 is 7.75 US gallons and 1/6 is 5.2 US gallons. I swear I wish the US would just go metric like the rest of the world lol!

I'll try a glass tomorrow and see what's what. Nope, these are Perlick 630SS but given we'll have 1/4 and a sixtel of another kind plus a bunch in cans, it's EXTREMELY unlikely we'll kick a keg at the party.

I was actually starting to wonder about that. I mean when this goes downstairs into my bar, obviously proper glassware will be used but for this weekend, since it's in the garage with about 50 people coming over, plastic will be the vessel of choice lol!

I noticed the bigger bubbles in the head too but oddly, it's more on the top vs bottom I think and seems to present as it's dissipating. Picked up the keg from distributor yesterday and let it sit in the kegerator for about 5 hours to settle from the car ride and all (it was cold on pickup) so...

Good to know, I won't worry about that aspect then. There are bubbles rising and it's definitely not flat. Took a timer and just did a pour. 17 seconds for a 16oz cup. Head gone in maybe 45 to 60 seconds (didn't time that part). I know some would say the 17 seconds is kind of long but I don't...

4mm ID lines for beer and gas here which is why I'm thinking I should have no problem shortening things up even for wheats etc. given your advice way up in this thread. The "how long a head stays" (did I just say that??) question is still a question for me tho as I learn.

How long do you expect a head to stay on a beer after the pour. So let's say I pour it, it takes 15 seconds or so for the 16oz pour, have a 1 to 2 finger head on it. Seems like mine is dissipating "too quickly" but I don't know what the standard is to be expected. Maybe my experience at bars has...

Yeah the place mentioned that a regular co2 tank would just need an adapter, I believe because a nitro regulator has different threads than a co2 regulator. I have a dual body regular and 2 manifolds. So one tank, but I can set two different pressures and go to different manifolds. I did it this...

Thanks for that info. There definitely are other stouts, but for St. Patrick's day (which is a month long event for me), it's got to be Murphy's or Guinness lol! We have Perlick taps so it'd be a tap change but that's easy enough. The welding place I got the co2 from mentioned they can do the...

I don't do any brewing tho I have a few friends that do so they can bring their stuff over since I have ball lock posts on my keg couplers/lines so I'm set to attach to them quickly. I'd like to get Guiness on draft (we have a big St. Patrick's day party) but I'm not sure what all is involved...

I absolutely love that I can have beer on draft but it doesn't have to be a full one like you get at a bar. Sometimes I just want 8oz or so. This is awesome!

Did a test pour this morning after it sat all nite. Cooler set at 38, reading 38.8, poured a16oz solo cup in 14 or 15 seconds to 43.3 degrees and had about a finger of head but it almost dissipated too quickly for my liking. I think I'll take 2' off the lines to start and then dial it in. I...

I'd really like to just take 3 or 4 feet off in one shot if but nothing else to help control "stuff" in the cabinet since I have the copper pipes coming down from the tower plus water and drain lines for the drip tray and then I could use that overage for the other gas lines I'll need but don't...

Hi all, Thanks to all the help from great, knowledgeable people here, I now have Sam Porch Rocker on draft at home. I'll post a keezer build picture when it's totally complete but for now some quick pictures. I have to do the trim to cover the pocket holes and paint the bolts in the floor...

Yeah I think it's like 2.31 as the factor in the calculation if I recall (tried to forget fluid drnamics from college)

I guess I aways thought head was purely feet above pump it could push, that's why I put the pump up on a table so it was closer to top but if it's a cumulative thing, then the 4 lines up and down yeah I'd be high. Wondering if coiling them up so they don't hang so low would help the cause, or...

Born in 76 and just saw breakfast club all the way thru within the last year, shocking I know! So doing it your way makes a lot of sense now that I see it. All gets done at once but nothing has to take a super long path. how strong is your pump? It seems so weird that my 1100 gpm pump can't...

Sorry, parallel?

Well we got everything hooked up and went to try pushing water thru 4 taps and no dice. I have an aquarium pump linked above and put it up on a table next to the keezer so I wasn't pushing from the floor up 52ish inches to the tap. Pump into tap 1. Jumper up top on 2/3 and 1/2 and 3/4 were...
